Oh, he is a Socialist :lol: rip London
No he's not. Labour doesn't automatically mean "socialism", it would take Corbyn a long time to turn around those 'New Labour' members. Khan tries to come off as a conservative-lite, or friendly capitalist.

Every man and his dog has been on the affordable housing train for about 10 years now. London is such a separate entity from the rest of the country I don't know how it possibly works. £400m for housing in London is about 800 houses, ordinarily.

Is it about creating more real estate or freezing rental prices?

I think it's about appealing to locals, but with the real goal being creating real estate and favour with developers. It's not as if London has building work everywhere, every day of the week...You can't turn a corner without some kind of construction work or redevelopment.

He's local and working class, originally, so maybe I'm being unfair, but big politics and ambition soon remove that.

i've heard different point of view from russian businessman from london - Evgeniy Chichvarkin, the owner of best wine store in the world that based in London, sorry but he is completely right if everything that he said is truth - Khan is socialist, he basically promised to londoners cheaper households and cheaper rents, here is the list what Khan promised according to chichvarkin: Limitation of real estate investment from abroad, more african and asian cops, freeze rates on transport with subsidies from the budget, The first two areas without pollution, don't hold spontaneous inspections on the streets by the police, pedestrianized oxford street (it will ruin the business that earns billions of pounds on this street + business rate one of the biggest in london on this street, tax on the rent there is around 25-50% and it go straight to the treasury of Westminster)

oh, yes, Evgeniy is right, i just found the list of promises :

He's appealing to his constituents, who are many black and Asian working class, his background, but he's too big a player on the business scene, not a Corbynite.

Well, according to his manifesto all that londoners are cares about its the rent prices, transport fares, the pollution, he is not businessman, you can't force me to set the price on the rent on my apartment because we are living in the capitalism, it's market economy, bitch, but socialists will never understand it, he wants to force investors to build affordable housing instead of rich apartments, good luck with it, mate :lol: they can only say their bullshit about the equality and the parity, ofc minors are in love with him - affordable housing and to freeze fares on transport :touched: people that struggle to survive in the capitalistic world sooner or later are voting for socialist populist politicians, fucking utopians and their Utopian socialism

i'm not a minor, i don't struggle and i still think rent prices, transport fares and pollution are important topics. and since *surprise* the majority is NOT rich, it is very important to have enough affordable apartments, which is a big problem in London and other big cities.

btw. what do you think about this:
Rent Regulation Germany:
Rental price increases are required to follow a "rental mirror" (Mietspiegel), which is a database of local reference rents. This collects all rents for the past four years, and landlords may only increase prices on their property in line with rents in the same locality. Usury rents are prohibited altogether, so that any price rises above 20 per cent over three years are unlawful

Migrate away, find a city which you can afford to live in, americans migrate from city to city on the daily basis when they can't afford to live in this or in that city, instead of voting for socialistic utopians. As for german rent regulation - it's pretty stupid, what if inflation will be around 10-12% per year in Germany? Then what? Life became more expensive, the gas prices became more expensive and yet i can't raise rent in my building to cover my losses?! And then in the end of the day i will have to loan money in the bank to cover my losses, then i will be unable to pay it back and bank will take away my house, seems legit :lol:

£30,000 salary gives you a maximum of about £1000 p/m for rent if you are being sensible about the cost of living, travel, leisure etc in London, so obviously there is some problem when a lot of these are over that figure.
exactly. nice having a apartment - but i wanna life after all.
